What are some good workouts to prepare for boxing?
Why don't you go to one of those boxing gyms, and try and find out, if someone is willing to take you on, and train you


How many real good answers are you going to get in here.


good luck.
Reply:Start out with jumprope for 3 minutes, then do pushups, pullups, or punch on a heavy bag. You should also lift weights. Also do box jumps.
Reply:I'm so glad you're thinking about trying out boxing.











Boxing training is often cited by medical doctors, boxing trainers, and writers as one of the most spartan forms of sports training. I would advise you to join a boxing gym so they can see your weaknesses and empower 'em and they see what you do best and they improve you.





Actually, a friend of mine who joined a boxing gym (for a month and he quit) told me that basic training routine he did as a beginner were:-


-Hitting the heavy punching-bag.


-Hitting the speed bag.


-Hitting the double-end bag.


-Shadowboxing in front of a mirror. (believe me, it's important).


-Skipping


-Sit-ups, Push-ups, and back pull ups.


-Jogging everyday.


-Sparring (occasionally).





As you advance, the training routine gets harder, you may not know what will your trainer order you to do. But usually you must have the passion to box. You must be ready to start jogging 10 miles in the morning in a program that may be similar to this one:-





Lets suppose you're gonna fight for 10 rounds each round will be 3 minutes long, then your program might be:-





Warm up %26gt; run as fast as you can for 3 minutes %26gt; jog for one minute %26gt; run as fast as you can for 3 minutes etc... And here you go. You run as fast as you can for 3 minutes 10 times and you have 1 minute to jog between each 3 minutes.





Your trainer may also want you to swim so you can gain stamina and stretch muscles you never knew.





But you don't need to worry about all that as long as you're a beginner. Good Luck.

Reply:You need to establish a normal routine that generally addresses all three, and add special workouts throughout the week to work each in more depth.





Generally, I work out like this:


1. Warm-up/Stretch


2. Shadow Box for 2 rounds (my rounds are 3min w/ 1min rest) (practice footwork, helps agility, and is also good for strength)


2a. Spar for 3-5 rounds. You don't have to do it everyday, but do it as much as possible.


3. Heavy Bag for 5-6 rounds (you can customize this to work on any of the above three, but remember technique)


4. Double End Bag for 3 rounds (don't stop punching, it will raise your punch count which is your stamina)


5. Jump Rope 3-5 rounds depending on how hard you are working out that day (everything else should be done fast, so this is the closest thing you get to a break during your workout)


6. Ab work (use medicine balls and do ten-counts)





On top of this normal routine, I'll add the following workouts





1. Wind-sprints (try and tie a rope around yourself, and have a friend hold on while you pull him).


2. Put a stack of anything on the floor over knee high, and jump side to side over the top of it for a couple rounds.


3. Push-ups, Pull-ups, and other calisthenics.


4. When you are feeling lazy, go ahead and lift weights. But don't do it too often.





I hope this helps. I didn't really specify what each workout accomplishes, but I'm sure you can figure it out.
